With that lift you should be running Toe 0, Camber 0, and Caster 3 Degree's. That's the specs im running with 887 coils and Dakar leafs and nitro charger shocks all around plus light racing upper control arms!

 

Caster is probably my main question - why is it 0.5? Do the wheels have any effect on settings?

 

Here is my alignment sheet!

 

Caster is not a tire wearing angle. It is for ease of return-ability of the steering wheel once you come out of a turn. Your specs show it to be low. If they can increase it and get you camber set to zero that would be ideal. Positive Caster is best described as an angle where the bottom of your tire is more forward than the top of your tire in relation to the vertices centerline of your hub. Negative caster is the bottom is farther back than the top. Too much positive caster will make it feel like you are driving a chopper motorcycle. You may want to see if they can make adjustments to give you the optimum in camber and caster. They may charge you time to do it but in the long run it will give you the best drivability and tire wear.

So took it back to Big O today. According to tech, max Caster he can set it at is 1.3 which caused Camber to go up to .7

do the wheels have any effect on the settings? will getting UCAs help get me better alignment specs?

 

Upper control arms will give you better alignment specs
